Have a nervous or reactive dog?
They can still have physio!

Rio came for a visit at my home as she can be protective when in hers. She came for a pain assessment due to some behavioural changes.
Findings were discussed and sent to her vet/behaviourist so we can all work on a plan together to help Rio.

Pain commonly causes behavioural changes, so if you notice anything different with your pet, it's worth getting it checked out!

This lovely girl, Tchiba, has regular sessions to help manage those pesky aches and pains from getting older. Her owner tends to notice when she needs a session as Tchiba will be more reluctant to go for walks and looking a little more stiff.

Get in touch if you would like your older pets checked over 🐾

Update on our little Derek who suffered a spinal stroke
He is walking without assistance and we are finding it hard to slow him down 😂
Our main aim now is to continue to focus on strengthening and improving proprioception in his left forelimb, as you can see it is still delayed, and to continue to challenge his co-ordination and balance

It helps that he has so much will to get running!

Meet Ryn 🐾 who has suspected bilateral patella luxation

Ryn is can be a little guarded meeting new people but during our session we take things slowly and build up a level of trust. She allowed for a full assessment and treatment without a fuss.

Patella luxation occurs when a dog’s kneecap (patella) moves out of its normal groove, often causing skipping, limping, or a sudden “hop” on a back leg. It’s commonly seen in small breeds but can affect dogs of any size.
Severity ranges from mild (occasional slipping with little discomfort) to severe (persistent lameness requiring surgery). Early assessment is important because untreated cases can lead to arthritis and long-term joint damage.

A little update on Derek the Schnauzer, who suffered a spinal stroke.

We have done three weeks of intense physiotherapy and we are just about walking with little aid! He can stand up on his own, lift his front left off the floor now, and correct the knuckling the majority of the time. We still have a little way to go, but we are heading in the right direction.

🐾Bluebell🐾 is a 14 year old Weimaraner with degenerative myelopathy and osteoarthritis.
Degenerative myelopathy is a progressive neurological condition that affects proprioception, coordination, and strength in the hindlimbs. While it is not painful, secondary weakness and compensatory strain can contribute to discomfort and reduced function.
Physiotherapy focuses on maintaining mobility, muscle strength, balance, and quality of movement, alongside strategies to support comfort and slow functional decline.

A retrospective study found that dogs with degenerative myelopathy that received intensive daily physiotherapy had significantly longer mean survival times and stayed ambulatory longer compared to dogs with moderate or no physiotherapy.

Vestibular

This dog is experiencing vestibular disease, which affects the balance system. One of the key signs we often see is abnormal eye movement, called nystagmus, where the eyes flick or dart side to side or up and down.
This happens because the brain is receiving confusing signals from the balance system, so the eyes move in an attempt to re-orientate. Alongside this, vestibular dogs may show:
• head tilt
• loss of balance
• leaning or falling
• circling
• nausea or anxiety

Physiotherapy plays an important role in helping the brain relearn balance and coordination, improving confidence and reducing compensation through soft tissues ans joints as recovery progresses.

Meet Derek 🐾

Derek is recovering from FCE (fibrocartilaginous embolism) — often described as a spinal stroke. It has left him with weakness on his left side, but with the right rehab approach, dogs like Derek can make excellent progress.

FCE is sudden, but it’s not painful long-term and not progressive. Recovery depends on how the spinal cord was affected and on targeted physiotherapy to encourage nerve recovery and prevent compensation.

He is already working incredibly hard on his peanut ball workouts and is making great progress. It's very handy that he loves a treat! 😄

Will update you on our journey!

A before and after - this old girl has chronic lumbarsacral disease and has compensated greatly through her back. There is still a lot of work to do but hopefully she is feeling more comfortable!

Meet Lando 🐾
A young cat who was unfortunately hit by a car, resulting in a pelvic fracture. This was surgically repaired with a plate, along with two screws to stabilise the pelvis to the spine.

His owners have been incredible throughout his recovery, and he’s been making great progress. We were still having some difficulty with his left hind limb, as he continued to knuckle over when walking.

Today they shared a video of Lando heading out for a walk and no knuckling in sight!

Good days ahead for this little one 💙
